I disagree. There is no doubt as to the intention. No-one is getting this wrong. Walt had this discussion with Robert Corbett earlier, and it can be read (admittedly with difficulty) as we obviously intended. It's certainly a candidate for editorial improvement sometime. Though since there are newer features with confusing wording, or even straight-out technical defects, I would not rate this as high priority. It's much more important to get right the things that vendors and users are going to be reading and trying to understand. Cheers, -- ................................Malcolm Cohen, Nihon NAG, Tokyo.
